Okay, we’ve been talking for years about the possibility of trying yoga. We once bought a DVD and looked at it once but found it intimidating. We investigated the possibility of local yoga classes but never followed up. Then in December Rachel mentioned online yoga videos. This Sunday we promised ourselves we would watch (just watch) one yoga video this week. We found a good one for complete beginners on youtube and this morning we actually did a twenty minute routine of gentle yoga. Step One!
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.

This is great! Did she share our my yoga online account with you? If not, let us know.
Yes, she did although this particular one is not from that site. But it was Rachel’s encouragement and sharing the link that got us started!
